Ty Dolla $ign HNHH Digital Cover Shoot (Behind The Scenes)

Three weeks before the release of his debut album Free TC, Ty Dolla $ign came by HNHH Studios for his October/November digital cover photoshoot. Ty was low-energy but amicable, a "chillster" in the word of one staffer, smoking plenty of chronic as photographer Elijah Dominique (http://www.elijahd0m.com) went to work.

The shoot eventually migrated outside, to the plaza in front of NYC's iconic Flatiron Building. Ty's California skin was apparent as he shivered in the brisk mid-autumn wind. At one point, a familiar-looking middle-aged man walked by. "Isn't that Malik Yoba from Empire?" Ty said.
